The
Center for the Arts, University at Buffalo, will present Dance
Theatre of Harlem on Wednesday, Feb. 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the Mainstage

For
the last 43 years, Dance Theatre of Harlem has been an inspiration to
the lives of the young people in the Harlem neighborhood of New York
City. Founded in response to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr., the Dance Theatre of Harlem was formed as a racially
diverse company focused on creating innovative and bold new forms of
artistic expression. Through these varied artistic interactions, the
ambassadors in the Dance Theatre of Harlem have helped to build
character and teach valuable life skills to countless people in New
York City, across the country, and around the world.

As
Dance Theatre of Harlem traverses its fifth decade, the company
remains committed to the excellence that has sustained members over
the years. The company is dedicated to reaching new audiences with
its message of self-reliance, self-expression and individual
responsibility.

The
show will feature a Dance Theatre of Harlem classic, "Agon," as
well as a number of contemporary pieces including: "In the Mirror
of Her Mind," "Black Swan," "Far But Close" and "Return."
